There’s this weird phenomenon where Zionism and antisemitism have a ton of overlap on the far right. White Christian nationalism has end times beliefs that rely on Israel existing as a nation in full control of the entire original “Holy Land,” but such beliefs don’t necessarily require the Jewish people to be thriving or treated as equals.
I guess it’s possible that Israeli intelligence and leadership behind such an operation, if there is any legitimacy to the idea this was a Mossad operation, could’ve decided that the odd hate crime carried out against Jews by
mentally ill lone wolvesstochastic terrorists would not only be a comparatively small price to pay in the furtherance of their goals, but even serve to galvanise the broader populace in support of Israel. And that outcome is actually what we’re seeing in reality - we see that a large number of moderates and even some progressives have hopped on board the “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” train.I’m not saying I believe this theory, but it definitely seems plausible.
